DNREC’s Delaware Coastal Programs offers training and assistance to coastal decision-makers through the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve. The Coastal Training Program offers resources to help communities make informed decisions.

The Coastal Training Program addresses critical coastal resource management issues in Delaware by providing current scientific information and access to technologies and skill-building opportunities to Delawareans responsible for making decisions about the state’s coastal resources.

The Coastal Training Program’s activities range from technical assistance, seminars, hands-on skill training, and participatory workshops to lectures and technology demonstrations.

Through these programs, coastal resource decision makers also have opportunities to share experiences, network in a multidisciplinary setting, and participate in field activities.

The Coastal Training Program provides professional development opportunities through thematic trainings, workshops and technical conferences.
